How bike friendly is the UK? During our “Solfie'

How bike friendly is the UK?
During our “Solfie's Road2Glasgow” it became painfully clear how the position of cyclists in traffic in the UK is. Lousy! And especially as a cargo biker! If you can find a cycle path (there are quite nice ones) then these, especially in England, are partly closed by steel constructions (also called A-frames) to prevent motorcyclists from riding there. But most cargo bikes don't fit through that either!
Also, many separate bike paths are poorly maintained; potholes, rubbish, thorns and leaves lying on them or simply overgrown due to lack of pruning. No wonder that cyclists often still choose the public road to ride on, only to have to deal with motorists who do not understand why you are on 'their' road (for which they pay tax). Furthermore, it becomes painfully clear how important the bicycle path is when it is integrated along the public road: The asphalt is neatly renewed for cars, but the cyclists ride on old road surfaces, remnants of asphalt and glass shards.
.
Dear Boris Johnson, can you, as a champion of cycling, urge your infrastructure minister to change this and take into account that there will be a significant increase in cargo bicycles in the coming years? Thank you!
Noël Wilmes

What a great area and coastline!

It was the first route in the UK during our cargo bike ride to the climate summit COP26.

How cool is this! Cutting impact in my new Ioniq 5

How cool is this!
Cutting impact in my new Ioniq 5 Project 45, the very car that was starring in a commercial for Hyundai Welling Maastricht.
Very happy with my beauty with solar panel rooftop. You can imagine I couldn’t resist.

Have been working towards driving full electric for 7 years, saving extra money over the last 4 years by using my SolarCargoBike reducing my petrol expenses with 50% (and don’t forget reducing carbon footprint).

By the way, however tempting, I still keep choosing my SolarCargoBike over this car in urban transport…..

Thank you @louslangen at Welling Maastricht for thinking with me towards my dream.

Thank you and goodbye i30, HELLO Ioniq 5 Project 4

Thank you and goodbye i30, HELLO Ioniq 5 Project 45..! Picked up my beauty today from dealer Welling Hyundai in Maastricht.
It is goodbye to petrol and hello to full-electric.
For clarity: my nr1 means of transport is my SolarCargoBike with Solfie III cover. For distances too far for a cargobike I use my new Hyundai Ioniq 5 Project 45, with solar roof!

One more night…
Tomorrow is my next step in sustainable transport.
No, I will not stop using my SolarCargoBike…
The few kilometers/miles that I have to use a car those will be electric. It might just be a SolarCar…? Who knows what it will be? (family members are excluded answering this question)….

For more than 6 years I have been working on a plan. Saving money for a next step. By using my cargo bike for the last 4 years I have been able to save me 30.000 km, ánd money!
My Hyundai i30, on the picture, which came in place for my previous car a Renault Espace, was also more economical in use.
This week, as a result from this, I’m able to take the next step: go electric!
Keep following, in a couple of days it will be delivered…

Charge break. ☕️🍩. Sun power is decreasing

Charge break. ☕️🍩.
Sun power is decreasing this period of the year. This morning I ran a little short on energy since I used my SolarCargoBike last evening. Had some time to take a little charge break. Okay, morning sun is not that powerful but enough to keep me rolling to next assignment where I can park my bike with SOLFIE in the sun for 2 hours.
It gets more challenging towards the end of the year but I still manage to keep off-grid completely.

Choices to make a change. Reducing carbon-emission

Choices to make a change. Reducing carbon-emission by choosing cargo bike over car.
Tonight, on my way to clients in Kanne (B) close to Maastricht and passing @chateauneercanne , I realised once again I did almost 3,5 thousand kilometers on solar energy without recharge since I started measuring in April this year. Before that I also have been riding on solar energy but not in one stretch.
Since Sept 2020 6000km with Solfie and in between with my spare cargo bike also over 1500km.
Car kilometers saved:
7,5 thousand.

In their artikel from 10 Sep, 2021 Solarteameindhoven present their Solar Vehicle “Stella Vita”.
I see similarities with Solfie (project started in 2018…) in the way they found their way to make two extra panels sliding in and out of the top….

🎉Today SOLFIE has crossed the 3000 km (1864 mi)

🎉Today SOLFIE has crossed the 3000 km (1864 mi) limit on solar energy alone. I started measuring from the beginning of April and although the number of hours of sunshine lagged behind the annual averages, the energy proved to be sufficient to get there. What a convenience not to have to take out that battery every time! And you know what else it is? It seems that SOLFIE's self-generated energy feels better than the energy from a socket. From a physical point of view this is of course not possible, but the psychological impact should not be underestimated.
Ánd don’t forget: over this period alone I managed to reduce my CO2-footprint with 357 kg by using my cargobike with SOLFIE and not using the car.
I feel happy ❤️ with what SOLFIE brings me.
